Scholars in the courtyard

"As expected of Mr. Yang, this thing looks extraordinary."

Tian Hui kept praising him from the side, looking at the thresher as if looking at a rare treasure.

Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, this is just an ordinary machine, no different from a tractor or mixer.

But for him, who has gone through difficult times and has been hungry for most of his life since childhood, this is the best machine.

With it, farmers' labor force can be liberated. One person can do the work of ten people, and can cultivate more land and grow more food.

This little change has brought about progress in agriculture as a whole.

He could imagine that in the future, farmers would use tractors to pull plows when planting, water pumps for watering, tricycles for transportation when harvesting, and threshing machines for threshing.

Isn't this mechanized production?

Isn't this progress?

Tian Hui's face showed excitement.

"Old Tian, ​​why are you talking so much? Hurry up and find something to try."

Li He on the side spoke first and urged him. He could think of everything Tian Hui could think of.

After hearing this, Tian Hui looked at Sun Guo aside with a cautious expression.

"Director, we just assembled it not long ago, and we haven't started it yet."

"Would you like to check again?"

Li He was about to object after hearing this, but he thought about the mission and nodded.

It took two days to finally do it as required. If something went wrong, there would be no time to correct it, let alone explain it to Yang Xiaotao.

"Director, why don't you check again? If something goes wrong with the machine, it will be too late to correct it."

Sun Guo waved his hand confidently, "No need to read, as long as you do it according to the drawings, there will be no problem."

"I believe in Mr. Yang's design and the technology of our comrades."

After saying that, Sun Guo asked someone to start the machine, and then arranged for people to go around to find some wheat and bring it back.

Their first branch factory is considered to be in the suburbs, not far from the surrounding villages.

Everyone immediately got busy.

The threshing machine is driven by a diesel engine, and this branch has a ready-made engine.

As workers put the engine in place, the belts were installed, then oiled, cranked, and put to work.

Boom~~~

There was a continuous sound, and then the sound of a motor came from inside, and there was also the faint sound of strong wind blowing.

"The wheat is coming, it is coming."

Not far away, several workers ran over carrying bundles of wheat, and behind them there were several farmers.

Put it directly in front of you, and after a while it was piled into a small pile.

Sun Guo asked about the situation and found that these were wheat from nearby villages. After explaining the situation, the villagers did not believe it and wanted to follow him to have a look and take the wheat back home.

When Sun Guo saw it, he was about to pick up the wheat and send it inside, but Tian Hui stopped him.

"Old Sun, if you fill it all in, the motor will be choked if you are not sure. You have to cut it off first."

Tian Hui said and handed a piece of paper to Sun Guo, "Look, these are the attention requirements that Mr. Yang wrote on it when he was designing."

Sun Guo took it and took a look, it was really true.

There are four words "Instructions for Use" written on it.

"Hurry up and find someone to get a guillotine. If you don't have a guillotine, you can just use a kitchen knife."

After hearing this, the workers around actually went to the kitchen and brought a piece of vegetables and a kitchen knife over.

Then according to the instructions, everyone chopped off the wheat heads, and then Sun Guo stood on the stool, took the wheat heads and put them into the thresher.

Then I felt that the sound inside became noisy. At the same time, a burst of soot blew out of the air outlet, and several nearby workers immediately started coughing.

It was not too late. As the sound inside became clearer, a meal of wheat straw immediately spewed out from the outlet at the back.

"It's out, hurry up."

Tian Hui shouted, and someone immediately came to the grain outlet with a basin and waited. After a while, a snapping sound came from inside.

"No, look for the bag quickly."

As the wheat stalks continued to be thrown in, the wheat grains continued to flow out. Soon the lunch box was full, but before the bag was found, someone took off his coat and spread it on the ground. Then he watched the beating wheat grains hit it, with a look on his face. Looks of joy.

"It's done, it's done!"

"It's done!!!"

In an instant, the workshop was filled with shouts.

These are grains, which can be ground into flour to make steamed buns, noodles, cakes, and steamed buns.

In an instant, all kinds of delicacies appeared in everyone's mind.

But Sun Guotian Hui and others looked at the wheat that was constantly flowing out, and were amazed at the efficiency of the threshing machine.

At the current speed, the wheat that usually takes a week to beat will probably be completed by this machine in less than a day.

This machine really did not disappoint them.

At this time, the few villagers who followed opened their mouths and looked at the machine as if they were watching a movie, staring at it without blinking.

Among the working methods handed down from them, farming has its own set of patterns.

Just like plowing land, even if a tractor is used, it is just a new "iron bull", and the essence remains unchanged.

But the machine in front of you can spit out the wheat particles directly. It doesn’t need to be crushed, blown by wind, or picked up by people. You just need to put them in and find a bag to put them in.

This, this simply subverted their perception of work.

After a long time, the older one moved forward and moved forward. It was not until he reached out and touched some warm wheat grains that he trembled and said his first words, "Oh my god, this is magic."

The workers around them did not laugh at them. Even though they were revolutionary workers in the new era who were very receptive to these new things, their hearts were still filled with shock.

"Old Tian, ​​you two keep an eye on me. I'll call Mr. Yang and report the good news."

Sun Guo immediately ran out of the workshop.

He wanted to tell Yang Xiaotao the good news, and he couldn't wait any longer.

Yang Xiaotao was found by Lou Xiao'e in the fourth workshop when he was about to get off work. At that time, he was talking to Wang Fa about Li Nan and planned to take advantage of this weekend to visit with the brothers.

Wang Fa also had this intention, so he agreed immediately.

After Lou Xiao'e found Yang Xiaotao and told Sun Guo's words, Yang Xiaotao didn't care about anything else and quickly drove to the first branch factory.

By the time he arrived at the first branch factory, it was already dark.

"Mr. Yang, the machine has been made and we tested it. It works very well."

"After hearing about it, the farmer brothers from nearby villages came over with a lot of wheat, just to see this magical threshing machine."

As soon as Yang Xiaotao got off the car, Sun Guo led a group of leaders from the first branch factory over.

Behind them, there were many people pushing carts carrying bundles of wheat toward the workshop.

Probably a local farmer.

With the testimony of these farmers, Yang Xiaotao felt that there was no need to check whether it was working properly.

If it's not easy to use, probably no one will come.

"Have a look."

After saying that, Sun Guo led him forward.

When we arrived at the workshop, we saw that workers and farmers were everywhere.

However, everyone's eyes were focused on the machine in the middle, with expressions of wonder, envy and hope on their faces.

The roaring sound also drowned out the surrounding discussions.

On one side, the blown wheat straws were piled up into a hill. On the other side, the farmer responsible for picking up the wheat grains was calling people to get the bags quickly.

The whole scene was chaotic and disorderly, but the joy that filled it could be felt from far away.

"Mr. Yang, do you want to stop?"

Sun Guo asked, but Yang Xiaotao shook his head and stood not far away watching.

"Uncle Sun, tell the people behind you not to come in. Just finish these things."

"And tell them that we will go to the village tomorrow and ask them not to rush."

"By the way, you have to weigh how much wheat you thre out and record the time."

Sun Guo agreed repeatedly and immediately asked someone to notify the security department. Tian Hui on the side immediately found someone to prepare for the weighing.

Taking advantage of this time, Yang Xiaotao and Sun Guo went to the office to sit for a while, asking about the production process and understanding the situation.

When I came back, the farmers in the workshop had already left.

Not only were the harvested wheat grains taken away, but also the hills of wheat straw, and the site was even cleaned.

He is indeed a quality farmer.

When he came to the threshing machine, Yang Xiaotao took out his glasses and walked around the machine twice. After confirming that it was designed and manufactured according to his own drawings, he nodded with satisfaction.

"Comrades have done a good job. They have produced a finished product in such a short time. I will report it to my superiors and ask for credit for you."

Yang Xiaotao said without hesitation.

The guarantee given to Zhou Shenghong earlier was to encourage him.

The guarantee in front of us is a reward for the first branch factory.

"It's all well designed by Mr. Yang. Without your design drawings, we wouldn't be able to make it."

Sun Guo became humble at this time, but what he said was all the truth.

If Yang Xiaotao had handed the drawings to the main factory, they would probably have been made by now.

"That's right, Mr. Yang, our branch factory should be the one to thank you. Without your help, we wouldn't be able to do it at all."

"Yes, we are the ones thanking you."

Several people around him said polite words under the leadership of Sun Guo. After hearing this, Yang Xiaotao waved his hands and said, "You have contributed a lot here, otherwise it would not have been completed so quickly."

"This is a win-win cooperation between us, and nothing can work without anyone."

Yang Xiaotao said this, then the credit for this achievement is certain, and from now on, in all likelihood, the production of threshing machines will be done by their branch factory.

Thinking of this, everyone laughed even more happily.

"By the way, Mr. Yang, this is the time and weight we recorded."

"Because we started from the middle, we didn't round up. From recording to now, it's one hour and nineteen minutes."

Tian Hui took out a notebook and recorded the time on it, and next to it was a row of numbers. Basically, he weighed the bag after finishing it.

"Of course, I wasn't very skilled in the middle operations, and some of them were not delivered. The total is 1,965 kilograms."

"If it were operated by a skilled person, it would be almost a ton per hour."

Tian Hui said firmly, after all, the workers were not farmers, there were problems with cooperation, and there was a section in between that was not provided.

"One ton per hour. If the current yield per mu is three to four hundred kilograms, that would be five or six acres of land."

An old worker next to him immediately exclaimed, and then calculated from the side, "A larger village will plant three to four hundred acres, and a smaller village will plant two to three hundred acres. Calculating it based on three hundred acres, five acres of land per hour. This day, people work without stopping, and the machine works for ten hours, which is enough to produce 300 acres in less than a week. "

"If there are two machines, it can be done in three days."

As soon as the old worker finished speaking, someone immediately shouted, "Old Liu, you miscalculated, there are still ten hours left. We will work twenty-four hours a day, and we will do it for you in two days."

"That's right, three days at most, one machine is enough."

"If this had been done in the past, it would have taken ten days and a half from cutting to drying."

"No, this still requires the whole village to join forces."

Several older workers immediately popularized agricultural knowledge to the young workers. Everyone was shocked and delighted.

The thresher they produced was so powerful.

According to this calculation, one thresher for each village is enough.

Yang Xiaotao listened to everyone's calculations and had a scale in his heart.

He remembered that Yang Dazhuang had told him that there were only about 300 acres of wheat in the village, and because of the lack of fertilizers, the yield per acre did not exceed 400 kilograms.

According to this calculation, the role of this thresher is equal to that of hundreds of laborers in a village.

"Boss Yang!"

Just when Yang Xiaotao was lost in thought, Sun Guo came up and shook Yang Xiaotao's hand with great excitement.

"Last time, because of Yu Haitang's incident, our first branch was embarrassed."

"Boss Yang, thank you, thank you for setting up the stage and letting our first branch fight a comeback."
